There is nowhere in Colorado that you can copyright your bumper sticker, for a number of reasons. First copyright is a federal law. You have to register with the US Copyright office (http://www.copyright.gov). Second, names titles, common words/phrases, slogans, etc do not qualify for copyright protection.
Now as to trademark, you will have to file with the US patent & trademark office (http://uspto.gov). There are certain requirements that have to be met and a search will have to be performed before trademark protection can be offered.
You wouldn't; you would register it as a trademark. In the US, visit uspto.gov for instructions.
Under US law, you acquire "trademark rights" by being the first to use the brand in commerce in association with particular goods or services. Registration is optional, but highly recommended for purposes of enforcement. Trademarks may be registered in one or more states or at the federal US Patent and Trademark Office.
yes Generally no. Names, titles, & common words/phrases do not have sufficient originality to qualify for copyright protection. They usually can be trademarked however.
No. Common words/phrases, names, titles, etc are not eligible for copyright protection. They may be registered as trademarks, however.
You do not have to trademark a t-shirt slogan. Just keep in mind that if you don't, you won't be able to do anything if someone else steals your idea.
I don’t know
Names, titles, common words/phrases, slogans, etc do not qualify for copyright protection. Under some circumstances they may be registered as trademarks, however.
Cats protection slogans are trade marks or copyrights of authorized cat protection enterprise. These enterprises help and rescue the homeless cats.
No. Names, titles, slogans, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection. In many cases however they are registered as trademarks. A trademark is established by using it in trade. If you can establish that you were using the slogan first. you could sue McDonald's for damages - provided that you were using it for a similar type of business. For instance, for many year, Cadillac's ad's said "The Standard of the World". If you were marketing Eberhard Faber pencils and I were marketing french fries, we could each adopt "Standard of the World" as a slogan, because those three products are completely unrelated. I don't know which slogan of McDonald's you are referring to. You can do a search on it at the US Patent and Trademark website (WWW.USPTO.GOV) to see if it is registered in the area of commerce that you're interested in.
Copyright law is not applicable to names, titles, common words/phrases, slogans, logos, etc. However the phrase "Motorola's Got Talent" may be (& probably is) registered as a trademark.
The United Nations has the consistent slogan of " Peace and Security." However, the water division of UN Water has a slogan contest every year. The slogan for 2013 was "International Year of Water Cooperation."
Since names, titles, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection an advertising slogan could only be registered as a trademark.
I sw this on a bumper sticker in Beaufort, S.C. last week.
Usually a single clause is too short to qualify for copyright protection. If used in commerce, for example as a business slogan, it may be protected as a trademark.
Yes you can use a protected logo or slogan as a theme (with permission) but it has nothing to do with copyright.Names, titles, logos, slogans, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection. They are usually registered and protected as trademarks.
The slogan "Just do it" is a trademarked slogan of Nike.
The phrase itself is likely too short to qualify for copyright protection. If you plan to use it in business, for example as the name or slogan of a clothing line or record company, you could register it as a trademark.
Names, titles, common words/phrases, slogans, etc do not qualify for copyright protection. Under some circumstances they may be registered as trademarks, however.

No. Placing the copyright logo is worthless unless the work is actually under copyright.

1 hv no idea
Not sure about the copyright, but the last person who attempted to register a similar trademark in the US Trademark Office (related to restaurant services) wound up in litigation for over two years when Warner Brothers found out about it and ended up abandoning the application. Probably not, because slogans are not normally subject to copyright protection. However, it is a distinctive trademark slogan of a famous cartoon character, and almost any commercial use of the slogan that conflicts with the owner's rights is likely to result in unpleasantness.
